Abstract | ||||
The effect of soaking wheat grains in uniconazole, a triazole type growth retardant, was studied on the endogenous levels of IAA, ABA, cytokinins and IAA-oxidase activity. Uniconazole treated plants had lower IAA and higher ABA and cytokinins (Z, ZR, ZG) contents. IAA-oxidase activity was also increased. Abbreviations : ABA = Abscisic Acid; IAA, IndoleAcetic Acid; Z = Zeatin, ZR = Zeatin Riboside; ZG = Zeatin Glucoside. | ||||
